This trail is amazing fun even for more advanced riders, but provides novice and intermediate riders great terrain to progress on. You'll find some excellent berms, small beginner rollers and jumps, and even a low skinny or two. The small (optional) jumps provide a great place to practice getting in the air for the first time.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
